I'm 57, in good health, and wear progressive lenses. If I look INTENTLY at
something close up or through the mid-range channel for short time, say the
little screen on my cell phone or on my digital camera the strangest thing
happens. When I look away, say to a computer screen, there is a blur spot
right in the middle. You've seen on TV where they want to hide the face of
someone (or Janet Jackson's breast) and they make one tiny spot into a blur,
well that's what happens. It goes away by itself after 2 or 3 minutes. It
does NOT happen when reading, only when staring at the same thing intently,
as you would when you are changing the settings on a cell phone. And get
this, it seems to happen mostly on digital images via an LCD screen.

I never had this happen until I started wearing these progressives from
Lenscrafters with Esselor lenses. It does not happen when I don't wear the
glasses.

I just had my eyes examed and forgot to tell the doctor about it. As part of
the exam she did a retina digital image on a new machine in her office and
said my eyes are fine, healthy, etc. I'm sure it's not serious, and it's not
a big deal, but it does tend to bother me.

I can see fine around the blur (in center) and like I say, it goes away.

Any idea what is happening here? I Googled for this symptom and found nothing.

Thanks,

Al
